"Honey, hurry up or your going to be late" Bonnie heard he dad yell out to her from the kitchen
"Alright, I'm almost done" she yelled back finished giving her hair a slight wavy style. Picking up everything that she needs she runs downstairs as best as she can without tripping in her knee length boots.
"I have a late night meeting so I want be home for dinner" Cane Bennett informed his very wild acting daughter
"Yeah, I love you too" Bonnie got out as she rushed to her car trying her best not to be late to school. who knew that being a senior could be so stressful, beside applying to universities, it was suppose to be a breeze through or so she thought.
Sliding in her car she put her things aside and started it up. "Ding, Ding, Ding" Bonnie looked over the sturn wheel "Fuck my Life! This can't be happening" Bonnie tank was on empty and she had less then 15 minutes to get to class on time. "Why couldn't you stop last night and filled up?" she asked herself out loud. If her dad wouldn't have made her rush home from Caroline's then maybe she would have but the past is the past and right now she needs to go.
"Move! Move! Please stay green" she pleaded trying to get to the nearest gas station which just happens to be two blocks away from Mystic Fall High. "Sorry" she screamed out to the driver who she cut off. Making it to the gas station Bonnie hopped out and inserted her credit card at the pump and started to fill her tank. So caught up in the act of filling the car she didn't hear the voice behind her.
"You could have kill me back there" the voice said
Turning around she was faced with a handsome looking man. He was tall, with dirty blond hair and with a set of baby blues and a killer smirk. If she wasn't holding on to the gas handle and the side of the trunk she would be on the ground in a nano second from his voice, sexy but bad boy looks and style. Everything coming off of him screamed "Do me" and believe me she wanted to.
"Then again, that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, love" That did it, she literally couldn't move all she could give him was a teen girl with her very first crush smile.
The signal of the pumping finished clicked alerting her that she really needs to go. "I'm sorry, I have to go or I'm going to be late". Placing the pump back on it's holder and closing her tank she bid bye to the gentlemen that she cut off.
"Klaus" he said to her
"What?" she looked over at him
"Klaus, my name"
"Oh, yeah. Bonnie" she smiled back at him
"Lovely name for such a lovely woman"
"I really have to go" hopping in her car she pulled out and zoomed her way to school. She went from being in a rush mood to a good mood and now a bad mood after looking at the clock and seeing that she was 5 minutes late to class. "I really tried" she said out to no one in particular.
Entering the school she was meet with the usual scene. Empty hallway with the occasion few students walking to the office or just roaming around. She didn't have time to stop so she went right to 1st period which happens to be English. Mrs. Vinny wasn't pleased with tardiness and seeing that it was one of her best students made her madder.
"See my after class, Ms. Bennett" Mrs. Vinny said
Bonnie just nodded her head and sat by Caroline. Class was long and borning and it was finally over. Getting up, Bonnie waited until the class was empty until she approach Mrs. Vinny.
"You wanted to see me"
"Yes, your one of my best students, Bonnie but your absents and tardiness is becoming a problem. You need to start making it on time to school. The policy is that 3 tardiness equal 1 absent and today was your third day. So if you can maybe ride the bus or wake up early to get her the rest of the week then I will take today's tardy off." Mrs. Vinny said
"Yes ma'am, I will do that" Bonnie informed her. "Thanks"
"You're welcomed"
Bonnie left the classroom and met Elena and Caroline at her locker. She informed them of the plan that Mrs. Vinny made for her and they asked her what she was going to do.
"I'll just have to set my alarm better because their is just no way that I'm taking the bus" she told them
"I know, Bonnie, what senior in their right mind would take the bus, no of them that's who" Caroline told her
"She's right Bonnie, from now on your going to be on time" Elena said to her
"Elena you of all people can't promise that. You and Stefan have your "Special Wednesdays" so your absents are worse than mine" Bonnie giggled at her
"Do you want my help or not?" Elena asked Bonnie still slightly blushing from Bonnie's earlier statement
"Of course she needs our help, Elena, so why even ask?" Caroline told her
"I don't know Care maybe I didn't want to impose or something"
"Okay so it's settle, Operation: Get Bonnie to School on time, is going happen. So are school pics." Caroline
"What I thought those where on the 19th?"
"Bonnie today is the 19th" Elena told her
"Great, I got my days backwards"
"You look great, Bonnie. What are you worried about?" Caroline asked
"That you two will upstage me in the school pics"
"Bonnie you are the bomb, your sexy and gorgous and smart all rolled up in one" Elena said talking like a guy.
"You guys are crazy"
"Well all the seniors are having their picture taking during the last two periods of the day, so we really don't have to go to class this afternoon"
"Perfect" Elena mentioned as she checked her makeup
"Well if I'm going to keep up with pretenses I need to go"
Elena and Caroline said their byes and they went their seperate ways until lunch. Bonnie walked into the cafeteria and grabbed a grilled chicken salad and a water. Caroline was doing make up and Elena was in Stefan's lap.
"You ready for pictures?" They asked her
"Sure"
Before Bonnie knew it, it was her time to go down and get her picture taken. The line wasn't too bad so she took the time to fix her hair and reapply some lip balm.
"Next Person" she heard the voice behind the camera say out to no one in particular.
She walked forward and sat her things next to her on the floor. As she was straghting her outfit and her she never notice the lock on the photographer's face.
"So we meet again" the voice called out to her. Bonnie looked up as she heard the voice and put a face to it. There he was, Mr. Gas Station. All she could do was smile and look like a deer caught in head lights. She knew she had to say something, anything, that didn't make her look like a child.
"Hi" That was her grown up way of making communication with him
"Hi" Klaus said back. "So you're a student here?" he asked just to keep the conversation going with the beauty in front of him.
"Yeah, I will be graduating in a couple of months and then I'm outta here"
"Where to?"
"Don't know yet, maybe California, Florida, or Georgia depends on where I get accepted at"
"Look foward" he said and when she abildge he walked forward to her to pose her like he wanted her. "Don't move". She did as he asked and before she knew it the waiting line manage to get longer and longer. Figuring she must have taken at least 10 shots with him before he got from behind the camera.
Some students were getting tired of waiting around and just wanted to leave school all together. Face it, who wants to be in school when you have a free day but are tied up taking pictures, no one that's who. With getting bored came shouting and loud talking from students waiting around.
"No matter how many shots you take Bonnie, you can't hide your ugly face. Once ugly, always ugly" A girl Bonnie didn't like with a passion, Julie. The girl causes Bonnie to get wrinkles at an early age from all the back and forth that goes on between them. Every since Ian, the guy who she was crushing on cancelled their date and took me out instead, she has been on my back every since.
"Maybe then you should go home, since the camera man doesn't have enough flim to take shots of you" Julie didn't like that and had the nerve to approach Bonnie like she was going to do something.
"Just like your outfit and this school picture, it's hideous" Julie smiled trumpet at Bonnie and the mad look that took over her face.
"I seen her twice today and she looks better everytime I see her. Now unfortunatly for you, you have one shot and it's in 3,2,1" Klaus flashed on the camera went off but captured the shocking look on Julie's face.
"I wasn't ready. I demand a retake" Julie huffed at him as he approached his bag and refilled new flim into it.
"No can do, love, only one shot per student" Klaus mentioned to her
"But that's not far. You took plenty of shots of her" Julie whine to him
"She is a masterpiece, a work of art. The way the light, doesn't matter if it's sun or the conventional light blub hits her, gives her this glow of politeness, and beauty and I been the photographer that I am, can't pass up on something like her" Klaus referred to Julie but his eyes were on Bonnie.
Being taking by surprise from the words flowing out of him left her feeling light. No one has every describe her as what he said. She just hope that she wasn't dreaming right now, but it feels like a dream. You have your knight and shining armor saving you from the bad dragon.
"Will see what the Principle has to say about this" the very angry girl marched right out the room.
"Never let a Jealous girl steal your shine, Bonnie, you are far to beautiful to be buried under the likes of her"
"Okay" Was all she could get out. What was she supposed to say that she too acts like that to get back at her, as a result looking like a replica of her just now, no way"
"Next" listening to him call out to the next person for pictures, she gathered her things when he stopped her. "Call me sometimes, I would love to see you again outside of these walls"
Bonnie did a happy dance inside of her. She met a guy who was tall, dark, and handsome in every sense of the words and he wanted a date with her. She said over and over that she was not the girl with a high school crush, but there was nothing wrong with it as long as she keeps it inside of her right now.
"I would love that" giving him a flirtatious smile she left as he went back to work with golden smiles on both of their faces.
